In this letter, a joint pulse position modulation (PPM) and permutation index differential chaos shift keying (PI-DCSK) modulation scheme (PPM-PI-DCSK) is proposed to increase the data rate and improve performance. In PPM-PI-DCSK, the bit stream is divided into blocks of$m_{p} + m_{c} +1 $bits, where$m_{p}$bits are modulated by PPM,$m_{c}$bits are modulated by PI modulation, and the last one bit is modulated by DCSK. The theoretical bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed PPM-PI-DCSK is derived over multipath Rayleigh fading channels and validated via simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed PPM-PI-DCSK outperforms the benchmark DCSK-based schemes. Furthermore, the performance superiority is also demonstrated by the frequency-modulated PPM-PI-DCSK over a typical ultra-wideband (UWB) channel. This demonstrates the superiority and feasibility of the proposed scheme in practical applications.
